Amyers22 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Has anyone used this? Does it work? I was hesitant to use this with my substrate (Controsoil) as it said to not use additives, however Humic is supposed to maintain a GH of 3-4 which would work with Controsoil, not against it. Does it help plant growth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo82 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know bout gh but as far as ph buffering to 6.xx, it hasn't worked for me. It's been 2 weeks. I have it in my filter. I probably wouldn't buy again. Amyers22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I used it for a while when I first set up my 7.5g tank. The only thing I noticed it did was lower the gH to 3 it did not seem to effect the pH at all (RO water remineralized with SS gH+). I believe the balls are mostly carbon and this gH lowering did not last long maybe 1.5 months or so. I would not use it again.
